"Sergio did a wonderful job on the tinting of my Honda Odyssey & he did so with a smile on his face in the blazing heat!!! My tint had some slight bubbling, but Sergio was quick to make it right. Once again with a happy pleasant attitude. He made sure I was happy with the work before he handed me my keys. Thank you so much Sergio!! I am truly appreciative & will be supporting this business again in the near future. Thank you!"

"I am absolutely amazed by the comprehensive and almost surgical level auto detailing, professionalism of the staff, pricing and overall experience I had with Waxx It. They are honestly the best deal around and provide a tremendously valuable service. They made my '06 Honda Civic look BETTER than the day it rolled off the lot. Absolutely amazed, can't recommend them enough, I'll be back in 6 months!"

"Great service, 4 stars is higher because Angel’s great service and work. Mike couldn’t deliver on his word and I would have been happier with better communication, especially with the amount of money I paid $$$. Mike gets 1 star, Angel gets 5 stars."

Window Tinting Laws in California

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line
Front Side Windows:Must allow 70% of light to pass through
Back Side Windows:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
Rear Window:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.
